Stockings at 1920 a Dozen.

From the Washington Herald.
Last year it was parasols, this
year they are crazy over stockings
said an old lady who keeps pretty
well up in the doings of the gay world.
"And such stockings" she proceeded.
Think OF paying $3.50 per dozen for
them!''
what on earth do ONE want
with such expensive hosiery?"I asked.
want? They don't know what
they want" was the answer. Nov,
there is Mrs.--,"naming a. young
married belle whose husband and fa-
therI are both doing their best to spoil
her. Before she went away for the
summer she showed me three dozen
pairs OF stockings. The total cost of
them vas $500. They were OF all coll
ors in the rainbow, and as thin and
find Is cobwebs. The latest freak in
fashion is to have q bit of the finest
lace let in the silk at the instep. And
on some OF them is the loveliest m
broidery ever seen, all handwork.
"The soft white stockings that were
thought SO neat upon q well-turned
ankle in my girlhood have passed
away. ! still think a girl can wear
nothing more attractive, but, bless
you, they won't believeyou! Thenew-
tangled denominations of all colors
are the thing. And, strange as it may
seem, black is the most fashionable
hue in these high-priced stockings.
Why, / even remember the time whenI
il o girl had worn black stockings, she
would have tabooedl There is moth
ing. to my mind, that q woman can
put her feet into that is uglier, but it's
the fashion. and so they are worn. /
don't think the girls nowadays have
the n they did in my time, anyway
this was when Prince John Van
Buren, was the chief beau of New York,
and when men actually wore velvet
collars ondfyss ~coate-but in extrava-
gance. Why, a girls stockings nova
days cost more than my wardrobe
used to for the entire year. How
times have changed!"

longed to take her to his heart; bu'
that could never be again.
"Will you first explain to me-" hi
answered, trying to be hard and cold
explain to me where you were yester
day?"
Certainly he is mad" she thought.
and she tried to be very calm.
"Ah, yes" he went on. you car
look very innocent, but, woman, look
at that" and with tragic gesture he
held up the paper.
Mildred looked at it bewildered; then
she read, "Dear Frank" A gleam oil
light first came into her face, and
gradually deepened into an expression
OF interest and amusement. She un-
derstood it all.
John looked to see her crushed, de-
spairing and penitent; and instead he
witnessed this unaccustomed, this ex-
traordlnary, change; and laughter
peal after peal of silvery laughter
rang through the rooms. She tried to
speak, but could not.
John in his turn began to think she
was mad.
At last, with tears rolling down her
cheeks, not from grief this time, she
said:
"Oh, you dear ~silly-silly thing.
Oh, you dear goose-that's my story
and | was going to surprise you
and bring you ever-ever so much
money-and now you have gone
and spoiled" and here she began to
cry In earnest. "And-you-have-
Observation-Disclosures
Her sobs, together with John'sgreat
enfolding arms, stitled the rest. "Oh,
my angel, my angel, | have been such
a brute. Con you ever forgive me?"
That was what John said; but this
pen refuses to attempt the portrayal
OF what he felt. He had been a will
ing and a loving slave before, and
now he was in addition a penitent
and crest-fallen one besides. And so
his chains were riveted anew.
AS limited before, John had q pro-
fessional character quite distinct from
his domestic one. This duality affords
a much needed outlet to perturbed
spirits; hence as he turned towards his
office the next morning an ominously
stern look came into his face.
The unfortunate man whose first
book he reviewed that day never sus-
pected that the savage criticism which
very nearly threw him into a W
fever, and quite into despair, was al
most entirely inspired by the misad-
ventures just related. FL. A.

THE GIRLS THAT ARE WANTED.

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart to the lips;
Pure as the lily is white mi pure,
From it's heart TO it's sweet leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That fathers and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees;
Kind and sweet to their own folk,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls
That know what to do and to say;
That drive with q smile or d soft word
The wrath OF the household away.
The girls that are wanted are the girls oil
sense,
Whom fashion can never deceive:
Who can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare, what is silly, to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful girls,
Who count what a thing will cost;
Who use with a prudent, generous hand,
But see hat nothing is lost.
The girls that are wanted are girls with
hearts;
They are wanted for mothers and wives;
Wanted to cradle in loving arms
The strongest and frailest OF lives.
The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl,
They are very few, understand:
But, oh! for the wise, loving, no me girls
There's a constant and steady demand.

An Exciting Railroad Ride,

The following thrilling account OF a
trip on the wildcat train between the
Rocky mountains is told by William
Title, q traveller, who has just arrived
at Toronto, by the Canadian Pacific
railway from British Columbia:
Two cars of a passenger train, while
being hauled up a steep grade in Kick
ing Horse Pass, which is n inch to
the foot for nearly two miles, broke
loose from the locomotive and COM
menced a mad career down the
mountain side. The brakes were
frozen and could not be applied with
effect. Some ofthe twenty occupantsin
the cars tried to rise, but the speed
was SO great that they could not stir
from their seats. The cars reached q
safety switch, a distance OF two miles
from the place where they broke loose
from the locomotive, in
minute. The passenger car caught the
safety switch and was piled on the
opposite incline, a complete wreck.
The baggage car. which did not con-
tain any passengers. went on down
the main line and did not leave the
track. A number Of passengers were
killed @nd others received probably
fatal iniuries.

peculiar and painful incident hap

MHE WM&
Apeculiar and painful incident hap
pened in the history of a Seaport
(Me.) mariner. His wife and family
accompanied him on a voyage, and
or the passage from San Francisco to
Liverpool, when in latitude 80 de-
grees, longitude % degrees, a child was
born to them, which continued to
thrive and grow remarkably during
the rest of the passage, and all the
time the ship lay at Liverpool. where
she loaded to Yokohama. After be-
ing out q few days on the passage
thence, it was discovered that the i'm
FAINT was sick, and it rapidly
grew worse until the exact latitude
and longitude where the child was
born seven months before, when 1t
died. The strange circumstances so
affected the wife that the father dared
not bury the child at sea, and the
body was Theoretically sealed in a lit
tie tin box made for the purpose, and
after reaching Yokohama was sent to
San Francisco by steamer, thence to
New York around the Horn, and after
having been nearly twice around the
world the little stranger reached h.
resting place in the quiet c~hurchyard
at Seaport.

AND IVES. TOO.

And Mr.. IVES. lately called Napo-
lean, also at last feels the grasp of the
law upon his shoulder. 1t is well. His
name was very much needed on the list
which though it bore conSpicuOusly
the diSgraced names of FISH, WARD,
HARPER and the scores of smaller
''bOOdlers'' yet yearned in its ineom-
pleteness for the addition of the young
'linancier's' cognomen. Now it is in a
fair way to get it.
The criminal proceedings for grand
larceny-or, let US be plain, plain steal
ing-have begun against the man who
expected to make millions out of other
peoples money by the effective method
of quietly appropriating them, and the
chances are said to be excellent for Civ
ing him, as a sort of Christmas gift per
hapS. the punishment due those who
wantonly defy the law and the COM
mandments.
And though Mr.. IVES, the late Ma
pOleOn, has been able to temporarily re-
tard his departure for the st. Helena,
whose other name is Sing Sing, through
the readiness of his sister to go bail for
him, it looks very much as though the
trip would soon be made. He will find
plenty of cOngenial company at the
states resort up the river, and if the
courts do their duty a good many addi-
tons to the circle of thieves will be made
in the near future.
1t is about time to show that the law
is as ready to punish the man who
steals on a grand scale as it is to hound
the poor man who takes a loaf of bread
to keep his family from starving.

HELPING THE POOR.

''H. NJ. b. inelosed s. in cash to the
GLOBE yesterday, with a request hat it
be donated to the good cause of Teliev-
ing the poor. The GLOBE has already
received a number of contributions
from other persons, including remit
tances from EDMUND RICE, Jr., and
other parties, who handed in smaller
sums over the GLOBE counter, request
ing that their names be withheld from
publication. The GLOBE has decided
that the best disposition to make of these
contributions is to turn them over to the
Relief society, and to ask that they be
applied in such direction as Mr.. HUTCH
ms, the superintendent of the So
ciety, and the GLOBE representative
should agree upon. All future cOntri
buttons received by the GLOBE will be
applied in the same way, unless the
contributor should designate some
specific application to be made of them.
The necessities of the poor in the city
are such as to make it easy to find
place for every dollar that is contrib
uted, and the GLOBE is gratified that a
generous response is being made to its
recent appeal in behalf of those in need
and distress.

OUR DAIRY INTERESTS.

Some very interesting information is
being presented by numerous able gen.
tlemen at the Minnesota Dairymen's
convention in Minneapolis. But few
people realize the magnitude of the
states dairy interests, and still fewer
would admit without question the state
ment that the dairying in its annual
product ranks first of all the states re-
sources.
InvieW of its Importance, therefore,
the suggestions that have been made at
the convention looking to the further
advancement of dairying are of the ut
most interest. And none of them is
more worthy of attention than that
which points out the method of giving
stock better care and better breeding.
Science can be applied to the barn and
and to the correct management of a
dairy farm it is essential.
There is no reason why neatneSS and
order should not prevail in the manage
ment of a dairy farm as we'll as the con-
trary state of things which is so gener-
ally to be observed. And as to the
higher grading of cattle, that, the veriest
tyrO in the business knows to be all i'm
pOrtant. Just as the thoroughbred eX-
GELS the common horse in speed the
better bred COW eXcels her more lowly
sister in her milk-giving qualities.
Minnesota has already won COM
manding position as a dairy country,
and the Intelligent discussion of matters
connected with the business, to be heard
at the convention, is an evidence of the
fact that she is going to retain it.

BLAINE's CONVENTION.

The convention of representatives of
the Republican clubs held i'll New York
yesterday has something of an expert
mental smack about it, something of the
flavor of FRED GRANTS candidacy.
The Republicans are somewhat at sea
as to what the convention ought to
do next year respecting certain queS
tions that are now prominent. One
of these is the saloon question, and the
Republicans are in a wonderful guam
Diary to know what to do with it. As a
sort of feeler of the public pulse it was
deemed wise to have convention in adj
vance of the one to meet in Chicago
next summer and try to unravel some
of these knotty problems. But that
was not all that convention yesterday
was held for. 1t was a convention COM
posed of the representatives of the Re-
publican clubs, and when it is remem-
bered that nearly all the Republican
clubs in existence are BLAINE clubs it
is not difficult to guess that Mr.. ELKINs
had hand in the holding of this con-
vention for the purpose of organizing
the BLAINE forces preparatory to cap
turing the national convention. SHAKE
sPEARE to the contrary nOtwithstand
ing, there is something in a name. Per
haps a majority of the mem
beers of yesterdays convention
were the Representatives Of clubs
bearing the lame of the Plumed
Knight. Nearly all of the clubs
represented III that convention were
organized during the last campaign, and
most of them took the name of their
leader. They were BLAINE workers
then and they are BLAINE workers
now. The whole movement is simply a
shrewd dodge to organize the BLAINE
canvass and to give it prestige. And it
will effect its purpose. Every man will
go home from that convention enthuSed
for BLAINE's denomination. and will
be busy from this time out setting up
the pins to capture the various state
delegations.

ja. ed Her.
A Wealthy California Convict
Taking 1t Easy at an
Hotel.
A Bookkeeper in a Bank Who
Has Stolen for Twenty
Four Years.

BosToN, Dec. 15.-The theory out
lined by the defense in the trial of Mrs.
Robinson as shown by the woman's teS-
timOny to-day, is that DR.. Beers did the
wholesale poisoning with which Mrs.
Robinson is charged. 1t will be claimed
that he administered the poison in med
icines prescribed for the victims.
In the trial of Mrs. Sarah j. Robinson
for the murder of her son Willie to-day,
the defense was begun. Her attorney
admitted that the boy died from az
senical poisoning, but denied that the
drug was administered by her. He de-
clared that DIR. Beers wanted to make
love to Mrs. Robinson, but that a cool
ness followed her discovery that he had
wife; that DR.. Beers gave
before he was taken sick, at
his place of business. Charles ii. Rob
insOn, only son of the prisoner, testified
that DR.. Beers gave hun lot of pow
derS for Lizzie, his sister, and that he
gave Willie some white pills. Witness
refused to take any of them when re-
quested to do so 10y DR.. Beers. Witness
mother was always very kind to her
children. Several persons cOrrObOrated
the testimony as to Mrs. RobinSOn's af-
lection for her family. Mrs. Robinson,
the prisoner, then took the stand.
She first gave her life in de-
tail up to the death of her
children. then her acquaintance with
Beers and Smith, and quarrel with the
former when she ascertained he had a
wife. After visit witness made to
Natick with Mr.. Smith DR.. Beers was
very jealous and threatened to put wit
ness out OF the way. He said he had
enough in his vest pocket to kill wit
ness, himself and a dozen others. Mrs.
Robinson said that Willie had told her
he had lent to DR.. Beers 800 or $500
and had the latter's note for it.
Witness said she never at any time adj
ministered any arsenic or drug to her
son. never bought any, never saw any
arsenic to her own knowledge, and did
not know its appearance or properties.
She testified that she had always been
opposed to Willie's joining the colony
of Pilgrim Fathers. The court then adj

PLEASED BY THE GREETING.
The Carlisle Contest---Doinas in the
Senate General Washington
Intelligence.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Sir Thomas
FL. Grattan Esmonde and Arthur O'COn-
nor, NJ. P, called at the White house
to-day,in company with Representatives
Collins, of Massachusetts,, and McShane,
of Nebraska, for the purpose of paying
their respects to the president. The
cabinet was in session when they ar
rived, and it looked as though they
would be kept waiting for some time.
The dOOrkeeper, however, consented to
take in their cards at once, but did not
hold out much hope for success. There
upon Mr.. Collins wrote a brief note to
the president, explaining their errand
and promising, if received, not to detain
him very long. The dOorkeeper took
this to the president, who directed him
to show the visitors into his private
library, where he said he would see
them in few minutes. They proceeded
to the room indicated, and had just
seated themselves when the president
entered by the door leading to the cabi-
net room and received the visitors most
cordially. The introductionS were made
by Mr.. Collins, and a short informal
conversation followed. As they were
leaving the mansion Mr.. Collins said to
a reporter that they made the visit for
the sole purpose of paying their re-
SpectS, and he was very much pleased
at the consideration shown by the presi-
dent in leaving the cabinet meeting to
receive them. The visitors will leave
Washington tomorrow for Chicago.

AWEALTHY CONVICT.
He is Discovered Living at Hotel
Instead of i'm Jail.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-James
Harkins, who was supposed to be Serv-
ing sentence of twelve months i'm
prisonment i'll the county Jail at San
Jose, has been discovered walking
around the city. Harkins, who is known
as .'Uncle Jimmy" is the head of the
opium smuggling ring, which few
wears ago controlled the custom house
and the United States court commits
Siouers, and conducted operations OH
scale that made the conspirators very
wealthy. Harkins OWNS three large
ranches in the best part of Santa Cruz
county. The crime on which he was
convicted was the bribing of United
States Court Commissioner O'Brien to
discharge two boatmen caught snrug-
Cling some S15.G00 worth of opium from
a Pacific Mail steamer lying i'll San
Francisco bay. O'Brien was once in
dicted for receiving the money. but was
not convicted. He maintained that the
money was merely borrowed from Har-
kins, who showed note to that effect.
Since then O'Brien has steadily de-
Scended in the social and financial scale,
and, though young man, is complete
wreck. Some months ago he confessed
that he had perjured himself at the first
examination, and had been bribed by
Harkins. Harkins was indicted and
sentenced to one years Imprisonment
by Judge Hoffman of the United States
district court. He was given his choice
of jaiIs. and selected that of San Jose.
Yesterday he was seen strolling around
the town without a guard, and inquiry
reveals the fact that he is boarding at
the leading hotel in the city, goes riding
every afternoon on the fashionable
drive, and spends days without slTveil-
lance at the duck shooting grounds of a
club five miles from the city.
